Why do liberals keep denying the success of "trickle down economics"?

Dear Lisa, your question is valid and most answers you have received should show you that such questions aren't even understood by majority...this is what happens when the main sources of information, the mainstream media is owned by the 1%! The perception of the so-called masses is shaped to see the world and explain it in a way that serves the 1%. However, please continue being a brat, and keep on educating yourself, and perhaps you'll be able to bring some basic awareness and political literacy.

I doubt very many poor people invest in companies that hire people. Teachers are paid with taxpayer money. No body wants to fire police and firefighters.

People who ask questions like this are usually only trying to change others minds about the financial and political beliefs. Normally they only think of the tax cuts as being personal income tax cuts. The tax cut with the most effect is the capital gains tax.

You can't influence people to invest by increasing the risk of loss. My return on investment has to be greater than the tax or I just break even or lose money. The tax cut for capital gains was originally from 28% down to 15% which is where it was kept when the tax cuts were not allowed to expire.

With 28% tax the ROI has to be a difficult percentage for a company to pay and still have a profit. No one wants the risk.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
